|
That device is suitable for higher productivity, greater user-friendliness and increased machining versatility. |
|
Speedy production: faster slide positioning time achieved by 20 m/min, rapid traverse and advanced CNC unit for faster processing. Tool post structure separates main and sub-spindle machining, therefore overlapping opportunities increase so that cycle times can be reduced. |
|
Friendly to humans and environment: self-lubrication of the linear guides reduces maintenance and eliminates waste of oil from the coolant. The absolute position detection is standard, giving instant zero return when power is turned on. Set-up skills are reduced by the new automatic adjusting function which controls the collet gripping force (main and sub-spindle) and the clearance between the guide bush and bar material. |
|
Versatile machining functions: secondary machining possibilities are furthered by combining main/sub-spindle controls with the two-axis control of the tool post. Off-center drilling and tapping in the end faces of a component is possible by using the optional two-spindle power driven attachment and having the optional power drive to the 4-spindle rear and working unit. |

Delta-Vario system |
|
Delta-Vario is a new pressure reducing system, which, on a CNC lathe, enables the gripping force to be relaxed automatically at the jaws of a power chuck, during the machining cycle, without stopping the spindle. When machining thin walled parts, the initial rough turning can cause weakening and there is a high risk of distortion. Therefore, it is recommended that the finishing turning, intended to eliminate any geometric distortion caused during roughing, be carried out with a low gripping force. The aim of the Delta-Vario system is to automatically reduce the chuck gripping force to a lower value, in order to minimize the distortion of the part. This takes place when the spindle is rotating, hence producing a gain in time and quality. |

Hard whirling instead of grinding, without cooling lubricants |
|
Leistritz design and development engineers have created a new development in whirling technology, allowing specially equipped whirling machines to cut threads dry in material of 63 RC. The improvement introduced by the design and development engineers is the substitution of whirling in place of grinding. Previously, the three processes of soft whirling, hardening and finish grinding were required. Now, the hard whirling process produces, in one operation, a finished quality equal to that achieved by grinding. For instance, the hard whirling of ball screws is already a tried and tested development in machining technology. The elimination of coolant lubrication relieves the user of high costs of procurement and disposal. This step forward in development has been made possible because the whirling process generates short comma-shaped chips, as a result of the eccentric tool path around the workpiece. This allows the tool and the workpiece to remain " cold ", while the chips carry away the heat generated by the cutting process. |

|
This particular CNC-lathe features the ideal prerequisites for simple and speedy production of elaborate parts with a diameter of up to 12 mm. With the CINCOM M12, tools may be used simultaneously. The 3 toll systems, consisting of a vertical tool holder, a 10-slot turret and a triple boring unit, result in ultra-fast production and minimal machining and handling times. All the operations including chucks, ejector and even the loader magazine are operated by the servomotors. Dispensing entirely with hydraulics and pneumatics, the M12 features a servomotor for turret indexing. The controller fully synchronizes the axes and enables front and rear machining. In total, 13 axes (9 work axes and 4 auxiliary ones) are thus controlled. The software simplifies programming to such an extent that even beginners can achieve satisfactory results. |

Hembrug Slant-bed Mikroturn 50 CNC |
|
Hembrug B.V. develops and manufactures hydrostatic ultra precision CNC turning machines, series MIKROTURN CNC, incorporating state-of-the-art technology. The newly developed and automated Hembrug Slantbed-Mikroturn 50 CNC is well designed for high volume finish hardturning, a very promising and comparatively new turning technique to finish turn premachined workpieces after heat treatment (hardness HRC 68). This ultra precision hardturning technology replaces the time consuming O.D. and I.D. grinding process. Furthermore, ultra precision hardturning compared to grinding offers much higher flexibility and is an environmentally friendly process, as a result of dry cutting. Another application for the new Hembrug Slantbed-Mikroturn 50 CNC precision lathe is diamond turning of precision non-ferrous components, since the oil hydrostatic machine concept offers extreme vibration-free accuracy and the appropriate static, dynamic and thermal stiffness, needed for diamond turning. Using the Hembrug Slantbed-Mikroturn 50 CNC, the end user can expect submicron workpiece accuracy (surface finish as well as dimensional and form accuracy). Launching date: September 1999 |

Kirby Bordoflex agile machining center |
|
Kirby designed the Bordoflex to incorporate two fully independent machining modules, allowing two spindles to be engaged simultaneously, immediately doubling the output of each cell. A 3-position loading indexer allows loading and unloading to be carried out during the cutting cycle. This spreads the load/unload time over two components again multiplying the output of a single cell. The total effective output gain is up to 2.5 times over a standard machining center. The 3-position indexer carries the pallets from the load station through a 120 index to the first machining position, onto the second, then returning to the load/unload station. Each of the 2 working positions has a fully infinite CNC planetary 360° indexing table mounted in front of the machining module, to provide fully independent 4-axis machining capability for both spindles. External guarding fully encloses the machining cell, with all access doors electrically interlocked. A lightbeam sensor along with automatically closing doors protects the operator. |
